Description

71Canto LXXI.Bharat's Return.Then Bharat's face was eastward bent As from the royal town he went. He reached Sudámá's farther side, And glorious, gazed upon the tide; Passed Hládiní, and saw her toss Her westering billows hard to cross. Then old Ikshváku's famous son O'er Śatadrú348 his passage won, Near Ailadhána on the strand, And came to Aparparyat's land. O'er Śilá's flood he hurried fast, Akurvatí's fair stream he passed, Crossed o'er Ágneya's rapid rill, And Śalyakartan onward still. Śilávahá's swift stream he eyed, True to his vows and purified, Then crossed the lofty hills, and stood In Chaitraratha's mighty wood.
